Let’s hear it for the guys in the bands! Yes, six bands for your rockin’ pleasure. From Dowagiac, Michigan: Bounty Hunter bringing out some old favorites as well as some of their original work. From Chicago, Illinois: Arson Radio who has been working on a new batch of songs for our listening pleasure. Put your hands together for Jackson, Michigan’s: The John Patrick Peters Band! Having played recently at McThirsty’s in Jackson and coming soon to The Roadhouse in Jackson. This band is a little jazzy, a little blues and a lot of rocking excitement. Next up from South Bend, Indiana Second Season! They bring with them a ton of energy and showcase great music. There recently released album Another Level has been selling like crazy and their single from the same album Alive is creating quite a buzz on the music scene. Get ready to rock out to Detroit’s Chrome Mollie! Their hit new hit Free Me has been in “TapTopTen, Detroit” for weeks. These guys are something else! With favorites like Sumthin You Need and Shake It we will all be rocking! The band’s favorite quote, “If it’s too LOUD, you’re too OLD” will definitely apply tonight. Last but certainly not the least, we welcome to the stage LA Award Winners, American Greed! Introducing on the Chopper Drums, Mike Mesey, he has put this band together for the perfect sound of rock! Get ready to Rock and Rumble as they play their songs, like Revolution and Ride Baby Ride. Having been nominated for “Rock Entertainer of the Year,” Winning “Rock Album of the Year” and “Rock Drummer of the Year these guys truly are Livin’ the Dream. We are honored to have all six of these great bands to perform for us. 

After all that there is more. Oh yes, there is more. Our non-musical entertainment will blow you away. In the afternoon we will witness GR’s Finest Stunt Team performing for us. They will chill and thrill us with their daring and death defying feats on their motorcycles. Needless to say they are professionals and practice for many hours to be able to do these stunts. 

Our next performer The Torch will be heating things up for us with three wonderful showings. Watch as eats fire, breathes fire, and commands fire. Again he is a professional and practices many hours to be able to do these spectacular feats. 

We at Home Grown Concerts wish to thank all our entertainers, sponsors and vendors for making this an amazing first of many Bike Fests to come. We hope you all enjoy your time with us, tell your friends and plan on coming back to see us next year.
